2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS
May 10, 2003 - Present
Color: Titanium
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Engine: 3.0L 6-cylinder
Date purchased: 5/10/03
This is the 3rd car I've owned. I bought
it new for $20,900 just five days after my 30th birthday. Despite having a powerful and throaty
V6 engine delivering 210hp, fuel economy during its first 4-1/2 years (about 89,000 miles)
has averaged 27mpg, with 30mpg typical on the open road.
The Eclipse has thus far seen pavement in 26 states: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, plus the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

an Alpine MRV-F352 5-channel amp (1998), and a Rockford Fosgate Punch 12 subwoofer (1998) in a removable enclosure in the trunk.

My first car. This was my ride late in high school and early in college.
It was basic, functional, and that's all I can say about it. Oh yeah, it was red. It had no pizzazz or style.
